Banh Mi Thit in Geylang has gotten a good reputation for the best Banh Mi in town. I tried a variety of them to check it out. Let me start off by saying the bread is absolutely amazing.
The coffee was pre-brewed, but I didn't mind as it was fast and dirt cheap. Yeah, I'll come back here again.
Yeah, I'll come back here again.
The catfish was a bit tough though, while the rest of the dish was quite serviceable. What I liked was they stir fried this in front of you.
My verdict for my first Vietnamese BBQ was non-conclusive. Meat marination was almost the same throughout but it didn't elicit that lip-smacking good sensation, unlike my virgin experiences with Korean and Thai BBQ, which had been raving and craving for the next few months.

After tasting quite a number of Banh Mi in Singapore, Joo Chiat Caphe's spread is quite decent. I'm still in search for better ones, any recommendations?
The banh mi had varied and complementary texture and flavours. The baguette was crispy, the vegetables were crunchy, the chicken cold cut was savoury, the floss was savoury sweet, and the pate was fresh and sweet, and bound everything together. The whole thing tasted savoury and fresh. The coffee was standard Vietnamese, bitter and strong.
Joo Chiat Caphe specialises in different variations of banh mi. Pair yours with their Vietnamese drip coffee! Read more.
There are a couple more food options in the vicinity. Soi 72 (Thai) and Honey Night (Korea) are on our list for the next visit.
Ky Anh Quan delivers a commendable Vietnamese dining experience. While it may not claim the throne among the finest Vietnamese restaurants we've encountered on this stretch, it remains a worthy contender and a decent choice for a Vietnamese meal in the vicinity.
